# Enabling and Disabling Veeam Agent Backup Jobs

You can disable and enable Veeam Agent jobs in Veeam Backup & Replication.

When you disable the job, you prohibit the user to store the resulting backup in the backup repository. If the user starts a disabled job manually or the job starts by schedule, the job session will fail and report the  "*Job is disabled on backup server*" error. To let Veeam Agent store backups in the backup repository again, you must enable the disabled job.

To disable or enable the scheduled backup job in Veeam Backup & Replication:

1. In Veeam Backup & Replication, open the **Home** view.
2. In the inventory pane, click the **Jobs** node. 
3. Select the necessary job in the working area and click **Disable** on the ribbon, or right-click the necessary job in the working area and select **Disable**. To enable the disabled job, click **Disable** on the toolbar, or right-click the job and select **Disable** once again.
